New Features and Fixes!

We just wanted to say thanks again for using Confer!  We received tremendous feedback and lots of great ideas from you guys.  We wanted to take a second to fill you in on a few updates that we released over the weekend:

Edit Post Function - We have given you the ability to go into a post that you created and edit the content.

Direct Messages - You can now send another user a Direct Message by navigating to the “Direct Messages” option under the Streams link at the top of the application.  Once there, you will see a text box at the top of the application.  Just add the name of the user as you normally would ( @username), and the message you’d like to send.  Then presto!  A secure message sent to that user, and no one else!

Direct messages will appear in “My Stream,” as well as the brand new “Direct Messages” stream.

In addition to the new “Direct Messages” stream, we have also added a “Mentions” stream, so that you can see the specific threads in which you were mentioned.

We have also worked some magic on our chat functionality, tagging, linking and text hiding.

Please continue to give us your feedback, as it is invaluable to the development of Confer.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or thoughts!
